Frames by Unknown

Jan Easter posted an interesting pattern today. I could not resist and have a play with it.

Now this is great if you want to draw ONE frame only. However, if you intend to use it on a warped grid, you’ll get lost. So here is my revised version:

You start with a dot grid, but you mark the first 2 dots with an X.
Leave 4 dots and mark 2 dots with an X again.
The next row is just dots.
The following row you ignore 3 dots, mark 2 dots with X, ignore 4 dots, 2x X, ignore 4 dots and so on.

Step 2

Step 3

Before shading

Now I need to draw this on a warped grid – I just cannot ignore a challenge 🙂
